Course Overview: Anatomy

Anatomy

Full Introduction to Anatomy

Dr. James Pickering and Dr. Craig Canby are renowned experts as well as educators having proven themselves in the field. In this collection of various lectures they share their practical experience regarding the anatomy of the human body, an essential segment of medical studies.

Its parts, functions, organs, structures and other material will be precisely explained to you. These encompass, for instance, the cardiovascular, nervous or digestive system.

This article provides an overview of the cutaneous innervation and venous drainage of the upper limb, reviewing several of the veins in this area of the body. Both superficial and deep veins are presented, giving an overview of the progression of veins in the arms.

The usual course of the blood starts from the heart into the arteries, through the capillaries, then into the veins and back to the heart. In a few cases, however, it does not flow immediately into the venous limp, but instead it flows through a second capillary bed. This is called the portal vessel system. In addition to the liver, it can also be found in the anterior pituitary and in the pancreas.

A sudden, violent “thunderclap headache” is the main symptom of subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Mostly, this intracerebral hemorrhage is caused by the rupture of an aneurysm. The lethality rate in SAH cases has fallen in recent years, but not the number of incidences. Patients who survive SAH cases, are at an increased risk of having cardiovascular and neurovascular diseases. All the facts on symptoms, diagnosis and treatment are presented in this article in a compact way, together with all the test-relevant details. This will definitely assist you to be in perfect preparation for your final examinations.

The human chest is a complex assembly of different osseous, ligamentary and muscular structures. It protects vital organs like the heart and lungs and is indispensable for the respiratory function. For medical students, it is advisable to learn the thorax in combination with the thoracic spine, as the thoracic spine and ribs form the rib vertebral joints and, therefore, you can save time studying, which may be urgently needed for other subjects.

None of us can imagine a life without fingers. We would no longer be able to use a computer, play an instrument or greet a friend or colleague with a friendly handshake. Hardly any other joint is as frequently affected by joint rheumatism as the finger joints. Countless metacarpophalangeal joints, like the second knuckles of people living in industrialized nations, are affected by chronic polyarthritis. Knowledge of the anatomy and pathology of the fingers and thumb is thus indispensable for every (aspiring) medical practitioner.

The nervous system serves the regulation and adaptation of the organism to changing conditions of the environment and the internal body. It is a communicating and controlling organ which innervates all organs of the body. The nervous system can be subdivided into an anatomic (CNS and PNS) and a functional (SNS and VNS/ANS) part which, however, are intrinsically tied to each other. The following article will give you detailed insight into the structure, functionality and pathology of the vegetative/autonomic nervous system (VNS or ANS).

For humans, life would be far more complicated without hands. Any right-handed person who has had a broken right hand and subsequently received a cast can remember years later how stressful the simplest of everyday tasks could be. In 2015, 30 % of all fall injuries in sports affected the hand or hand joint. With such a high rate of injury, it is scarcely surprising that students of human medicine must be familiar with the hand joint in all its anatomical and biomechanical details.

Aortic aneurysm is a common and serious condition that can be fatal upon rupture. The aneurysm can be detected months or years before a rupture occurs but commonly goes undetected, due to its asymptomatic nature in its early stages. Ideally, early detection prevents complications and reduces the mortality rate of this condition. Knowledge on Aortic aneurysm is essential for physicians, especially as a differential diagnosis for abdominal, back, chest and leg pain. It needs to be excluded early even if there is a small possibility of its existence due to its high mortality rate. Unpredictable sudden rupture of aortic aneurysms can quickly lead to hypovolemic shock or death.

15 % of all injuries of the elbow joint lead to occupational disability with premature pension. Thus, it is understandable that the health system has great interest to limit the consequences of such injuries, in case previous prevention measures have failed. Hence, there is need for physicians and therapists who invariably master the (functional) anatomy and pathology of the elbow joint, so patients with elbow lesions would be treated appropriately. This article is supposed to help medical students to learn the routine of dealing with the elbow joint – both for the exams in university and for later professional practice.

The human spine has various tasks. It helps us to be upright, ensures stability, provides muscles, tendons and other tissues with osseous starting points and passage openings, can distribute loads and is still flexible and movable. The downside of this is that such a complex structure with so many functionalities is, unfortunately, an equally versatile focus for diseases. In 2011, approximately 230,000 spinal surgeries were performed, and an upward trend has been observed. Students of human medicine should be introduced to the anatomy of the spine early on, to diagnose pathologies timely and spare patients’ problems associated with such an operation.

The complexity of the musculoskeletal system is often a big issue for medical students. To learn about muscles effectively, a clear and logical grouping into systems with unique structures is needed. In this article, in addition to detailed descriptions of the origin, insertion, action and innervation, medical students will obtain an overview in tabular form for visualization of the muscle groups. Attention: Due to conflicting information in primary literature about the muscles' origins and insertions, it is advisable to always consult the latest copies for studying.

In this article, you get an overview of the pathology of the brachial nerves and understand how a hand of benediction or a median claw hand, an ulnar claw and a hand extension loss with the radial nerve paralysis may develop.

The clinical picture of Huntington’s disease belongs to the category of movement disorders or extrapyramidal disorders and has autosomal dominant inheritance. The disease is characterized by a progressing hyperkinetic syndrome, where an increase in motions or an akathisia occurs. The complete medical picture is characterized by a combined indication of choreatic hyperkinesia, dementia as well as weight loss (anorexia), which is caused by an increased basal metabolic rate.

The sense of hearing connects us with our fellow human beings. Every dialogue, every conversation depends on it. Deaf people have the highest suicide risk. They are cut off from their social environment in a much more severe way than blind or paralysed people are. Unfortunately, age-related hearing loss and balance disorders are not rare at all and they have an enormous effect on the quality of life—even without a complete loss of hearing. The diseases and the respective diagnostic tests which are going to be mentioned here will give you an overview of the wide field of diseases of the inner ear, their diagnosis and treatment possibilities.

Aside from the intrinsic (or primary) muscles of the back, it is particularly the group of extrinsic (or secondary) back muscles that is of great concern for students of medicine as well as physical therapy. This is mostly due to the fact that this group is made up of many individual muscles, and that there are no simple mnemonics available with regard to their origin, insertion, function and innervation. Nevertheless, this article still tries to classify the extrinsic back muscles into logical subgroups in order to simplify studying them. After detailed explanations, an overview table of the muscles and muscle subgroups is provided at the end of the article.

In the second part of the article about the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system, the lumbosacral plexus is discussed. Aside from that, medical students receive an insight into some of the most popular exam questions.

While the brain and the spinal cord make up the Central Nervous System (CNS), the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) is comprised mainly of nerve fibers and ganglion cells. The two systems cannot be clearly distinguished from one another as they are functionally closely interlinked. The PNS conducts information from the CNS, via numerous nerve fibers, to the effector organs and vice versa. The cranial and spinal nerves belong to the PNS. In this article, we address the spinal nerves and the nerve plexuses that supply the extremities, namely the cervical and brachial plexus.

The complexity of the musculo-skeletal system is often a great problem for the medical student. To effectively learn muscles, one needs a clear and logical grouping in systems with definite structures. Besides supplying a thorough description of origin, insertion, function and innervation, this article will provide medical students with a tabular overview that will help to better visualize the muscle groups. Attention: Due to contradictory statements in primary literature, it is highly recommended to always use the most current versions for learning.

Parkinson’s disease is a movement disorder that is characterized by degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra, which is a part of the basal ganglia. The disease itself mostly has idiopathic causes and is to be distinguished from the symptomatic and the atypical Parkinsonism. The disease has a chronic-progressive course, whereas the life expectancy of those affected generally corresponds to that of the normal population. In this article, you will gain all the exam-relevant facts concerning epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, clinic, diagnosis, and therapy of Parkinson’s disease.

Do not fear the pelvic floor—although this topic is popular amongst examiners and seems to be complicated at first glance, there is no need for fear. Here, you get a compact overview and learn everything you need to know about the pelvic floor, the abdominal wall and the inguinal canal.

In comparison to the upper extremities, in particular the forearm, the muscles of the lower leg and foot are so much easier to learn for the medical student. Their grouping is simple, and the muscles themselves can be very well distinguished according to their function in the foot. Besides thorough descriptions, this article provides a clear chart of all the muscles and their groups. This chart can be used as a flash card for studying.

The hip is one of the strongest joints of the human body. This circumstance is due to the variety of muscles that surrounds, stabilizes and moves it. Medical students often have difficulties to properly understand the large number of individual muscles with their structures and functions. It is, therefore, advisable to divide the muscles into groups in order to obtain a better overview that will, in turn, facilitate the learning process. This article is intended to provide the desired overview.

The telencephalon is made of grey matter, which is mainly the outer-lying part, and white matter, which is the inner part. Grey matter comprises the cerebral cortex (cortex cerebri) and the subcortical nuclei, which are located inside the telencephalon and are surrounded by white matter. White matter is, moreover, subcortical.

The large number of different muscles makes the forearm and the hand one of the most complex structures in our musculoskeletal system and can cause issues for both medical professionals and students. The most common arm injuries occur in the upper arm, especially the radius.

Besides the shoulder joint, the knee joint is one of the most complex capsuloligamentous structure systems of the human body. Hardly any other joint has as many different stabilizing ligaments and simultaneously such a great degree of movement. Most of all, medical students should be familiar with the functional anatomy since even slight disorders, e.g. in the gliding movements of the menisci, can lead to severe movement impairments and pain. After the hip, the knee is the second most frequent location for the implantation of total endoprostheses.

The language centres of the telencephalon, i.e. the Broca's area and the Wernicke's area, are highly relevant as exam topics. The same goes for the structure of the limbic system and the basal ganglia.

Every year, a great number of endoprostheses are implanted in the hip joint region. This shows the extreme vulnerability of the capsular ligament complex and, thus, why a physician should be able to know its anatomy, functional anatomy, and pathophysiology. Orthopedists and surgeons hear patients complaining about pain in the hip joint every day. Without sufficient knowledge, it is impossible to help these people competently.

The heart is a hollow muscular organ that contracts approx. 100,000 times a day and pumps approx. five liters of blood into the circulation every minute. It is not only characterized by the unique features of muscle tissue specialized to meet the constant physical demands of pumping blood, but also by muscle cells that send spontaneous rhythmic electrical impulses to stimulate contraction. This article gives an overview of the structure of the heart wall and of cardiac muscle tissue.

The spinal cord (medulla spinalis) is part of the central nervous system, while simultaneously connecting the body to the brain. On the posterior side of the spinal cord, sensory information from the skin, skeletal musculature, joints and intestines, flows in from the afferent nerves via the dorsal root of the spinal nerves. On the frontal side, in turn, spinal nerve roots exit as efferences and deliver information to the peripheral nervous system – to the skeletal musculature and the intestines, and so forth. The following article will provide you with a first impression of the structure and function of this fascinating organ.

The shoulder joint is one of the most mobile joints in the human body and is extremely susceptible to injury, among other reasons, due to its high mobility. Physicians, not only surgeons or orthopedists, should, therefore, be familiar with its anatomy and functional anatomy. This article provides an overview of the osseous and articular structures of the shoulder joint and the subacromial joint space.

Hardly any other muscle group has so many small intricate complexes as those of the thumb and fingers and causes such a headache to medical students. And yet, the muscles and their functions can be very easily remembered on the basis of their denominations and the majority of them is innervated by the deep branch. It is, therefore, advisable for aspiring doctors to study with the help of mnemonics in order to be able to go relaxed into their next exam.

The diencephalon of the brain consists of four components. These are the thalamus, the epithalamus, the hypothalamus and the subthalamus. Overall, the diencephalon co-ordinates unconscious vegetative and sensomotoric functions.

The ventricular system is the extension of the spinal canal (canalis centralis) into the brain and consists of four chambers which are filled with cerebrospinal fluid (liquor cerebrospinalis). The paired lateral ventricles (ventriculi laterales I and II) are two of these four chambers and are connected to the unpaired third and fourth ventricle through the foramen interventriculare. The following article gives an overview on the topography of the ventricles, their structure, as well as the production and re-absorption of liquor.

The gall bladder (Latin: vesica fellea or vesica basilaris) is the storage organ for the bile and has a storage capacity of 40 – 50 ml. On its way from the liver to the duodenum, the bile runs through a duct system which is referred to as the bile ducts. The function of the gall bladder and the bile ducts is an elementary prerequisite for the complex process of digestion and can be impaired by typical diseases which a physician should know and understand. In order to understand the process of digestion, the spleen and the pancreas are also important.

The gullet (Greek 'oesophagus') is a hollow organ, approximately 25 cm long, assigned the task of actively sending our food to the stomach. The following article will provide you with a compact overview of the anatomy as well as the most important diseases of this organ and explains the physiology of the act of swallowing in understandable steps.

The human shoulder is the most mobile joint of the body. Since it is a muscle-guided and muscle-stabilized joint, it is susceptible to instability and inflammation. It is essential for doctors to learn about the muscular stabilization of the shoulder joint and its functional anatomy. We can imagine how tiring (if not impossible) a life without a properly functioning shoulder joint would be. The muscle groups of the shoulder are distinguished by location and origin: the muscles of the shoulder and the muscles of the upper arm.

Fascinating but also intensive in terms of learning: This is how medical students describe anatomy in the preclinical part of their studies. Knowledge about the human anatomy is absolutely essential during university and after it. The great amount of study matter seems to be insurmountable at first. However, as soon as one realizes the order of the system, a spark of fascination emerges. Thus, the dissection course provides the first contact to a patient – even if he is lifeless. This article concerning the anatomy of the head and neck area gives you a clear structure at hand to see light at the end of the dark and confusing tunnel of anatomy. Also, the parts concerning the ventral and infrahyoid neck muscles will help.

The brain, as well as the spinal cord, is enveloped by the meninges which, in turn, are composed of three layers of connective tissue. The following text gives you an overview of the structure of the individual meninges.

The sensory organs enable us to interact with our surroundings and perceive things outside our body. As fascinating as their function is, as complex and vast seems the topic during medical studies. Despite the large variety of sensory organs, they all follow a few fundamental principles in their structure and function. From the fundamentals to the necessary detailed knowledge of the different sensory perceptions is only a short way.

The arterial blood supply of the brain occurs primarily via three large arteries (anterior, middle and posterior cerebral arteries). The arterial supply of the brain stem occurs via the basilar and vertebral arteries and their branches. The cerebellum is also supplied by three arteries. (PICA-posterior inferior cerebellar artery, AICA-anterior inferior cerebellar artery and SCA-superior cerebellar artery). The venous drainage of the brain occurs via the dural venous sinuses, which are located between the periosteum of the calvaria and the dura mater.

The stomach (Latin: ventriculus, Greek: gaster) is more than just a muscular sac with storage function. It is also an important organ of the digestive system as it produces enzymes and hydrochloric acid which acts as a disinfectant. Many patients consult their doctor because of "stomach pain" who then has to figure out what the cause of their symptoms is. Here, you will find a compact overview of the structure, functions and diseases of the stomach.

The pancreas is two in one: exocrine and endocrine gland. It is essential for digestion and the carbohydrate metabolism. Thus, a loss in pancreatic function leads to severe clinical symptoms. In this article, you will get a compact overview of the structure, functions, and diseases of the pancreas.

The large intestine (lat. intestinum crassum) is distally adjacent to the small intestine, extending from the ileo-caecal valve to the anus. It is divided into the caecum with vermiform appendix, colon, and rectum. Thus, it is forming the terminal part of the human digestive tract. Particularly relevant for the exam are the relation of distinct intestinal sections with regard to the peritoneum, the differences between large and small intestine, and the general understanding of anatomy and physiology. The overview below provides all important basics about the large intestine.

The small intestine (Latin: intestinum tenue) spans a range of about 3-5m from the pylorus of the stomach to the Bauhin’s valve located at the passage to the colon. This section of the digestive tract represents the body’s most essential site of nutrient uptake and water resorption. Understanding the small intestine’s structure and processes is a crucial part of any physician’s education. The following article comprehensively sums up the most important facts about this central part of the gastrointestinal tract and its three sections – the duodenum, jejunum and ileum.

The liver (Latin: Iecur, Greek: Hepar) is the generalist among all organs – acting universally as center of metabolism, storage unit, detoxifying- and excreting organ. Medical staff is frequently confronted with diseases such as liver cirrhosis, hepatitis and fatty liver. Therefore, anatomical and biochemical knowledge of the liver is part of every medicine student`s basic training. Read this compact overview on structure, functions and diseases of the liver.

The kidney (Latin: Ren, Greek: Nephrós) is the urinary system’s main organ. In order to understand the microscopic structure of this organ, it is useful to comprehend well its function. And for this, one has to learn about the different cell types and their structure. The nephron is the kidney’s functional unit and shall be particularly discussed here. After studying this article, you will be able to explain its components. These are the renal corpuscles, renal tubules and the collecting duct system. You will now read a short overview of the functions of the human kidney.

The spleen (from Greek: splen; Latin: lien) has the shape of a coffee bean, weighs about 150 grams, and is located in the left posterior upper abdomen (epigastric region). Next to such large topics as heart, liver, or lung, the spleen is sometimes a bit neglected in the curriculum; therefore, many students struggle in exams when it comes to questions about the ligaments or blood circulation of the spleen. This article provides a compact overview of the anatomy, functions, and diseases of the spleen.

Nerves emerge as spinal nerves from segments of the spinal cord. Cranial nerves emerge directly and without “detour” via the spinal cord from the bony skull because they supply cranial structures or fulfil specific functions. As the 31 pairs of spinal nerves, they are considered components of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The cranial nerves I and II are exceptions since they do not emerge from the brain and therefore are not considered peripheral nerves. During medical studies, cranial nerves are an essential element of the subjects of the brain and the nervous system. In the following, you will find a concise overview of the classification, the functions and the course of the 12 cranial nerves.

The main task of the lung (Latin: Pulmo) is the oxygenation of the blood and the elimination of carbon dioxide. This gas exchange takes place in the pulmonary alveoli (air sacs). Diseases of the lung are common and seen in every age group. In this context, asthma as a disease of children and teenagers, and the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as a disease of adults should be mentioned. Also, infectious diseases of the lung like pneumonia are part of the everyday-life in practices and hospitals. Anatomic knowledge of the lung is key to be able to classify the different clinical pictures. In the following article, you will get an overview over the location, the structure, and the functions of the lung.

I just wish we could have the tables (muscle insertions, origins, nerve supply) as a PDF or something

New way to learn medicine.

By Lameck L. on 16. November 2016 for Abdomen

I'm a cuban trained medical doctor. In my medical training we used printed materials i.e atlas to learn anatomy. What is fascinating to me is the clarity of the images and explanation that the student is getting. And the intermittent quiz comes at the right time to remind and reinforce the information.
I would recommend the entire course to be shared with the teaching medical institutions all over the world.

Fantastic lecture, just the 2 questions. When you were saying about the Goblet cells in the wall of the Large Intestine you mentioned they secrete mucous to rehydrate what exactly? Is it the Glands? Also when you said the mesocolon's give the Large Intestine greater mobility what would be the benefit of this greater mobility?

this is so good …

By damilola s. on 18. May 2016 for Inguinal region
